While Mr Broussard may have painstakingly started to put Jefferson Parish back together, I do not believe he has the best interest of his constituents in mind. While Katrina was the most catastrophic event in our neighborhood, I do not believe that he provided the leadership needed during a crisis. As far as sending the pump workers out of the city, he could have easily have housed them at East Jefferson General Hospital. The nurses, doctors, other medical professionals as well as police and fire fighters were staged there. If it was not safe enough for pump workers to stay there and be in close proximity to the pump, why was it safe enough for the aforementioned, as well as patients that were not evacuated to remain there. Mr. Broussard can claim that there was no policy to cover that sort of action, but I cannot excuse his lack of common sense in providing directives. I hope his actions were not to prove anything to congress and the senate since he had not received requested funding pre-Katrina and he decided to "show them" at the taxpayers expense. I also question the urgency of the Parish aristocracy in removing the FEMA trailers. Unfortunately, I am one of those. I had/have insurance, but I am presently in litigation so as not to receive pennies on the dollar and possible assistance in elevating my home since it is below the new BFE requirements. I think Mr Broussard is in a rush to remove the vivid reminders, aka FEMA trailers, so that they will not be seen at election time!!! Mr. Broussard has worked hard to pull the parish back together, but only because his actions/inactions caused most of the problems.
